Once upon a time, there was a boy named Max who lived in a small town. Max had an obsession with collecting extension cords. He loved how they could stretch and reach faraway places.

One day, Max was walking through the market when he saw a court of different colored cords. They were all different lengths, shapes, and materials. But the one that caught Max's eye was a bright green fiber cord. It was the longest cord he had ever seen.

Max couldn't resist buying the green cord and bringing it home to add to his collection. But little did he know that this cord was special. As soon as Max plugged it into the wall, the cord started to grow and grow. It went all around the house, and before Max knew it, the cord had taken over the entire town.

People were getting tangled up in the cord, and Max was in big trouble. The judge in the court decided that Max had to undo the mess that he had made. Max didn't know how he was going to do it, but he knew he had to try.

Max went back to the market and found a small, red fiber cord. He plugged it into the wall, and the red cord started to eat up the green cord. Max worked hard and finally managed to get the green cord under control.

Everyone in the town was grateful and thanked Max for his hard work. From that day on, Max learned to control his obsession with extension cords. He still loved collecting them, but he knew that too much of anything could be a bad thing.

The end.
